Understanding Face Fit Testing Methods
Below is a brief overview of the two main Face Fit Testing methods. For more detailed information, please visit our FAQs page. Alternatively, feel free to contact us directly to discuss your requirements - our team is happy to assist.
Qualitative
Suitable for disposable and half-mask respirators, qualitative face fit testing confirms an effective face seal using either Bitrex or Saccharin solution.
How does it work?
The wearer completes seven exercises over seven minutes while wearing a test hood. If the test solution cannot be detected, the mask has achieved an effective fit.
Best suited for
✔ Disposable respirators
✔ Half-mask respirators
✔ Routine workplace testing
Quantitative
Quantitative face fit testing uses a TSI PortaCount™ to provide an objective numerical assessment of a respirator's fit.
How does it work?
The wearer performs a series of exercises while the PortaCount continuously measures particles inside and outside the respirator to calculate an accurate fit factor.
Best suited for
✔ Full-face respirators
✔ Higher-risk environments
✔ Situations requiring numerical evidence
